Millson-President of Letter to Editor Dear Sir: June 11,1985 On the 22nd of May, Ontario Hydro spilled 3,300 curies of radioactive tritium into Lake Ontario from the Pickering nuclear station. Hydro told the public that the spill was "harmless" as it amounted to only 0.3 per cent, the allowable monthly release limit set bv the A.E.C.B. The A.E.C.B. limits are too high. Atomic Energy Canada Limited estimates 10 to 20 curies of tritium to be a fatal dose. Under A.E.C.B. regulations, regulations, the Pickering B reactors' reactors' monthly release limit for tritium will soon rise from 1,000,000 to 1,400,000 curies when the fourth unit comes into service. Are release limits set bv what is safe fnr the public or by what is achievable by the industry? The 3,300 curies of tritium spilled May 22nd clearly exceeded the one-time release limits set by the A.E.C.B. The fact that Hydro omitted this fact in it's press release and attempted to focus public attention on the monthly release limits which were not exceeded is significant. The way Hydro can sweep politically politically dangerous information under the statistical carpet by using a different set of release limits shows just how much straight talk a 30 million dollar annual P.R. budget can buy. Claiming the spill was "harmless," Hydro has further damaged their credibility. credibility. Diluted or not, each tritium spill persists in the environment for 12 years. Each spill increases the already elevated tritium levels around nuclear generating generating stations. Each person coming into contact runs the risk of cancer and genetic mutation.

June 13,1985 Dear Statesman and Mr. Steve Rvan: Yes, Mr. Ryan, the election and its expense is past for a short time. It seems your bricks and bouquets are very well placed. Hope they reach their mark as I see some really did. Of course, Mr. Cureatz couldn't enter into an allcandidate allcandidate debate, though made assistant speaker of the House, as I pointed out at the time - "he can't talk," not unless someone is at his elbow telling him what to say. He didn't do us any harm, of course, and it was a pleasant change to see Mr. Rice at the new recreation centre, wielding wielding "the scissors." I understand understand Sam lost his anyhow. In the election newspapers, you and your party were treated rather scurvily. But did you ever see "The Peter Principle" more clearly pointed pointed up? There is probably much deadwood in that overcrowded overcrowded cabinet, from the same principle being applied to politicians, who have done no harm, but also no good to their constituents during their terms of office. Correction please. The reason reason why Sam slipped in so easily was NOT because people in outlying areas knew him so well, but because they didn't know him at all. "He's been there a few times before, so he must be o.k." That is the general thought of busy folk who pay little attention to local civic matters. For your stand on upbeat morality issues, Mr. Ryan, may all good people get to know you and surely The Statesman will be better to you later this month. The editorials seem to lack insight and wisdom lately, viz. "Better West End Prospects," for what, hot dog stands in place of orchards? How about some more non essential businesses businesses in the deserted business business area? What use are more housing developments if our capacity to grow food for people is cemented over? What use are the jobs created, if nothing of value is left to buy? How about the thousands who moved here from urban areas for the quiet of rurality. Will they stay when we are overcrowded with noisome business ventures and loss of quiet rurality? Again, most sincerely, "Maverick" Patrick G.

In 1789, ho wrote a letter In which he was commenting on the new U.S. Constitution which was just beginning to operate. Ho wrote, "everything "everything appears to promise that it will last; but In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Well, the U.S. Constitution Constitution Is still working and It promises to last; and nobody nobody so fnr has boon ablo to do anything about doath and laxos -- oxcopt perhaps to postpone tho one and to Incroaso tho other. Still, It Is only human nature to try to resist tho Inevitable. Inevitable. It's why so many TAXES people postpone paying their taxes till the last minute, minute, and why they put off planning for tholr funerals, The difference between doath and taxes Is that we know when tho taxes are duo, Nobody, not even the most brilliant medical diagnostician diagnostician can toll us WHEN we will die. That's tho reason it's so Important to plan (or our funerals NOW, while there's still time to do It proporly and sensibly.
